This is my blog recording my life as a Peace Corps volunteer in St. Lucia. PCEC78.

Impotence is not relevant

Funny things that happened to me:

- A teacher falls asleep while talking in mid-sentence during a staff meeting. Yes, it sounds like a movie.

- When giving a presentation at one of the schools in front of 50 instructors and counselors a man said "the key to achieving success is, in fact, impotence". He meant "importance", but in St. Lucia the "r's" are soft.

- (Ear muffs for this one if you are under 21) When I was leaving the office, I passed over the sky bridge on the main road in St. Lucia in the north. It had been raining for the first time in months so I did not have my umbrella. As I started to walk down the stairs, I was grossly surprised at the sight that was before me. A NAKED vagrant "jerking the chicken" was going at it quite reverently. He was wide out there in the open for all to see. I presumed that he wanted the free lube. The man who came down the stairs after me had to talk him back into his senses.

Today in the design world, many designers are forced to choose between creating designs for consumers or designs for causes. In “The Impotence of Being Earnest,” Matt Soar addresses the relationships between these designers and the audience and purpose which they design for. Some designers choose to use their talent and focus it on designing for environmental causes, or educational purposes. I personally was wondering how these designers could financially afford to design for causes rather than for high-paying consumers, but quickly realized that the designers didn’t need the consumers to survive. These designers are often the ones who are already well-established, have money in the bank, and do not necessarily need to design for consumers anymore to put food on their table. Other designers, however, are not given such a luxury, and need to try to make a living off of their design work. Designing “for a good cause” isn’t very lucrative and most designers simply can’t live by doing work of this nature. The ability of the upper-class designers to design for worthy causes is something I can definitely appreciate, but I also understand the need to create more commercial designs for companies and consumers in order to make a living, and I certainly can’t hold that fact against designers who don’t make a ton of money. I personally feel that if I had to design for a living, I wouldn’t be concerned with designing for a cause or discriminating against certain clients because the jobs they required of me were not moral-based ones. Design is needed for all types of situations, be they charitable or commercial.

Treatment premise to consider the patient's age, health status and treatment motivation. Some people think that age has been great, no matter is not of good; I have also seen 80 mettlesome man, married a 28-year-old Thai bride, Tim had just one son,sexuality and unable to seek treatment; followed by the response to the causes of impotence and prescribe the right remedy.Psychological treatment of sexual impotence First remove the psychological barriers and pressures, including the adjustment of life style, sexual partner's communication, feelings of culture, and even to different points in order to enhance life, aimed at creating a comfortable feeling happy, style and context. Of course, adequate sleep, balanced nutrition and moderate exercise to maintain physical health status is a basic requirement. If the result of these efforts are still unable to , then it must consult a psychiatrist.Organic impotence, the first should be the treatment of its original medical diseases such as diabetes, although there is no cure, but should be a good blood sugar control; high blood pressure should be control of blood pressure, cirrhosis should pay attention to diet, nutrition and the amount of ascites, and then for the penis the cause of the treatment.The second step is to see whether the lack of male hormone. Most of impotence patients do not lack testosterone, ventured to add, not only useless but harmful.
